For some reason completely beyond me, David Hogg is still running his mouth about things he doesn’t understand. You’d think after all this time in the limelight, he’d take a step back and– idunno– pick up a history book? Or economic policy book? Or the Constitution?
Meh. When MSM is singing your praises and featuring you in magazines, who needs to do that?

New York Magazine has a giant profile on Hogg, which is a snoozefest, although I feel compelled to share two things that I read.
1.) Hogg is planning on running for Congress when he turns 25
2.) He knows who a future President of the United States is going to be
Wanna know who?
The socialist chick who’s not really from the Bronx. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. PS stop catcalling her.
Back to point #1. Get a load of Hogg’s “platform” so far. It involves championing universal healthcare and abolishing the NRA.

In the past five months, Hogg has developed political opinions on just about everything. He is against charter schools and for universal health care. He is obsessed with Mueller’s investigation and especially the indictment of Maria Butina, the alleged Russian spy who infiltrated the NRA. He believes that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is “a future president of the United States.”
So…he’s a full blown socialist too? Neat.
He is interested in the idea of placing age limits on politicians. “The reason Republicans are successful right now is because they’re empowering young people,” he told me, pointing out that Paul Ryan was 45 when he became Speaker of the House. “Older Democrats just won’t move the f*ck off the plate and let us take control. Nancy Pelosi is old.” I am old enough to be Hogg’s mother, and pushed back on the idea that age equals ineptitude. Later, he posted a survey on Twitter. “I had an interesting conversation today when the question of congressional age limits came up. Do you think there should be an age limit on congressmen, congresswomen, and congressthem?” Of more than 33,000 votes, 59 percent said yes.

Blatant ageism. Respect your elders. https://t.co/Dq9XXiGBdW

Sorry– I still can’t get past the fact that he used the word “congressthem.”
Is he going to incorporate mastering the art of gender inclusive pronouns into his campaign? I hope so, for two reasons. 1.) It makes him look insane and 2.) There’s no way he’d be able to keep up with it.
There’s one more thing from the interview that’s probably worth noting. It’s the icing on the cake.
Hogg thinks your life is meaningless. But is he– the almighty Hogg– going to have a meaningless life? Absolutely not. HE WILL BE REMEMBERED, unlike you, plebs.
“We really only remember a few hundred people, if that many, out of the billions that have ever lived,” he told me at his house in a gated community in Parkland, ten days after the shooting. “Is that what I was destined to become?”
FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL REMEMBER HIM, DAMNIT!
Joke’s aside, what a pompous a$$. I don’t even know if I should take it easy on him and attribute that remark to immaturity, because most young people wouldn’t say something that condescending at that age. I wouldn’t have. He makes it sound like he believes your life is worthless unless the you’re famous and the world remembers you forever. That’s absolutely untrue and contrary to everything I believe.
Humble pie. He should eat some. Two servings, even.
